Unable to create portfolios/binders and convert images to PDF's after 11-Feb-2021 update

I am writing in behalf of some of the users i have to support. Since the 11th of february, we have a few users that are being unable to combine PDF's into a single portfolio/binder, and no matter what kind of images they try to convert, or import into a document, receive an error stating that the files are corrupted.

 

I have performed various tests without luck, and even reinstalled the application since a similar issue when combining PDF's has been attributed to a non working license. But the error persists and other pro functions work as expected. So it is not a licensing issue.

 

As an aside, if you open the failed document merge, you do get a warning saying you do need Adobe Acrobat X to be able to view it, despite being Adobe Acrobat DC Continuous Release Version 2021.001.20135

 

Following are a few screenshots of what settings are used when attempting an image conversion and the merging of multiple PDFs.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Cheers.

    Good day.

     

    I can confirm that i have those two separate issues ocurring concurrently. PDF's cannot be created from images, and PDF's cannot be combined into portfolios.

     

    To answer your question. These users are running on real hardware. They aren't running under Citrix, vSphere or Hyper-V. They operate with their Surface directly.

    We suspect your issue is being caused by Async I/O. Please create the following registry to disable it and see if it fixes the issue.

    Path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\DC\FeatureState (Create the FeatureState key if not present)

    Hi azvalora90867902


    Can you please tell us the following:

    1. What is the behavior when the customer creates a PDF using Tools->Create PDF->Single File workflow?

    2. Which file extensions are causing the issue? Example .jpg, .pdf, etc.

    3. Do the customers have any third-party plugins installed inside Acrobat? If yes, try uninstalling them.

    4. Can you check if the same errors show up in the English installation of Acrobat?


    Thanks

    The user is currently unavailable, but i will answer your questions in basis on the prior testing i've made with them through this ticket and before submitting it.

     

    1: When the user tries to make a PDF from any file they get the Unknown Error i described avobe. If they try to merge PDF's into a single file without checking the box to make them a portfolio, they get a working PDF with no errors. If you try to make a portfoliom they do get the error.

     

    The Create PDF from single file functionality gives the error regardless of it's done in the main UI or through the context menu.

     

    2: The problem happens when using JPG, PNG's and PDF's The user generally needs to take scanned documents or other imagery, and convert it to PDF so it can be interposed between other PDF files into a larger binder.

     

    3: No, the user does not use any third party plugins. The installation is as vanilla as it gets.

     

    4: I have attempted to install creative cloud from the english website before making this ticket, and the language automatically went back to Spanish. If you need me not to just change the display language, but make a full installation from an english installer, Please provide me with instructions on how to achieve it.

     

    Also. As a reminder. There are two errors here currently happening simultaneously. The file converstion to PDF issue, and the major issue where PDF files cannot be combined as a portfolio/binder. Every other pro function works. As of today, the user is using the windows print to PDF functionality to convert their images to PDF, so the issue with the binders is currently more urgent.

     

    Cheers

    One more thing to add to the things the users cannot do. Adding some other file to a pre-existing portfolio gives the user the following error: "The overlapping I/O event is not a signaled state.". This proves at least that the users can not only create new portfolios, but they also cannot modify them.

    Hi,

     

    Greetings! Sorry to hear that you are facing issues with the Image conversion functionality.

     

    It would be great if you could help us with a few queries that will help us in further investigating the bug:

    • Could you please confirm if the files are getting converted successfully if you drag-drop/open them directly in the Acrobat application?
    • Could you please confirm that this issue is happening with a specific file or with other files also?
    • Could you please confirm if the 'Protected Mode' is turned On in the Acrobat?
    • Could you please confirm if the issue is happening with Protected Mode off as well?

     

    For checking the state of Protected Mode (Adobe Acrobat DC)

    1. Open the Preferences dialog in the Edit menu or press Ctrl+K on the keyboard.
    2. Check if the 'Enable Protected Mode at startup (Preview)' is turned On or not?

     


    Thanks,

    Adobe Acrobat DC Team
